Chapter 139: A Coincidental Encounter
When she said this, she suddenly remembered that Gu Shi'an in front of her was a married woman. For a while, I just wanted to sew my mouth shut, laughed dryly, and said, "There are good ones, and there are good ones." ”
She wanted to find some words to praise Chen Xiao, but Chen Shao's romance was known to everyone in Lincheng. She couldn't find anything to boast about, and quickly changed the subject.
said the wrong thing, Xiao Wang was somewhat weak-hearted. I stopped gossiping, and after eating noodles, I went downstairs to visit the kitchen.
She prides herself on being a good cook, and she refuses to come out again when she stays in the kitchen. The fart is following Chang Yan to do this and that.
Gu Shi'an didn't care about her, and started to stay when she was cleaning up outside.
She was a little absent-minded all day, but fortunately, she had already invited two people, but she was not particularly busy.
Chang Yan probably saw Gu Shi'an's absent-mindedness, and when it closed later, he closed the door and sent Gu Shi'an to take the car.
She obviously had something to say like this, so Gu Shi'an asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Chang Yan smiled slightly and said, "Not much, let's talk while walking." ”
She was just finished working in the kitchen, and there was still some fine sweat on her forehead.
The two went down the stairs together. Chang Yan never spoke. It wasn't until she got to the side of the road and stopped to wait for the car that she said, "Do you want to go back to work?" There are enough people in the store now, although it is not on the right track, but it is slowly getting better. ”
Gu Shi'an didn't know why she brought up this topic, so she was slightly stunned for a moment, and asked, "Why did you suddenly say this?" ”
Chang Yan smiled slightly and said, "Not much." She paused slightly, then said, "Our shop started well, you have to trust me." I will definitely do better and better in the future. ”
One-third of the guests who come these days are repeat customers. Others were introduced by guests who had been there.
Of course, they are all for Chang Yin's craftsmanship.
Gu Shi'an smiled, nodded, and said seriously: "Of course I believe you." ”
Chang Yan looked at her and said equally seriously: "So, you go and do your own thing." Now there are enough people, and even if they are not enough, they can be recruited again. You don't have to worry about this. ”
Gu Shi'an was slightly silent for a moment, and said with a smile: "Okay." ”
Chang Yan breathed a sigh of relief at this time, looked at the time, and said, "Don't come tomorrow." Let the food delivery thing already have an eyebrow, and wait for them to deliver the food to the store in a few days. I'll have more free time. ”
She had clearly thought about it a long time ago. Gu Shi'an nodded, smiled, and said, "Okay, I'll go find a job tomorrow." ”
When she went to work, she really wanted to rest, but when she rested, she felt too empty. Naturally, I had to find another class.
Chang Yan just hummed and waited for the taxi to come. watched Gu Shi'an get into the car, and then went back to the store.
Gu Shi'an was a little tired, so he closed his eyes and pretended to sleep when he got into the car. suddenly remembered what Xiao Wang said about Shu Min's surrender today.
Her thoughts paused slightly, and she didn't think about it again. I don't want to worry about that.
She had decided to go to class the next day, and when she got home, she didn't care that it was late, and she took a shower and picked up her resume again. By the time I went to bed, it was already one o'clock in the morning.
Because of her biological clock, even though she went to bed late, she still opened her eyes the next day. Remembering that she didn't have to go to the store, she lay in bed for a while before getting up. I took a deep breath and picked myself up to wash.
She hadn't worn professional clothes for a long time, and she was in a trance for a moment after changing her clothes. She quickly came to her senses, took the prepared resume and went out.
The talent market is the same as before, crowded and unavailable. She moved with the flow of people and submitted several resumes.
She didn't eat breakfast in the morning, and she was a little dizzy after two hours of cramming. She steadied herself and looked around at the still overcrowded area, intending to get a bite to eat before returning.
Because of the large flow of people here, there are many vendors outside who push carts to sell breakfast. Gu Shi'an's mouth was not picked by Chang Yan at all, he asked for a pancake fruit, a bag of soy milk, and sat down to eat it.
Assistant Sun followed behind Chen Xiao and roughly talked about the customers he was going to see this time. Before he finished the introduction, Chen Xiao, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped.
He almost hit him, he finally stabilized his figure, and was about to ask what was wrong, when he looked at Chen Xiao's line of sight, and saw Gu Shi'an sitting at the simple dining table, biting the pancake fruit for a while.
She was wearing professional clothes and a resume on the side, and she knew at a glance that she had come to apply for a job.
Assistant Sun was slightly stunned for a moment, and looked up at Chen Xiao. Chen Xiao's gaze was still on. He laughed twice and said, "Isn't that Mrs. Quite a coincidence. After he finished speaking, he asked tentatively, "Mr. Chen, do you want to go over and say hello?" ”
As he spoke, he observed the look on Chen Xiao's face, Chen Xiao's face did not have any expression, but withdrew his gaze to look at him.
His mood these days is volatile, and Assistant Sun regrets that he is talking too much, and he just wants to give himself two slaps. He laughed twice and said, "I'll go over and say hello." ”
There was also a temptation in his tone, and seeing that Chen Xiao was silent, he strode towards Gu Shi'an.
Over the years that he has been by Chen Xiao's side, he has already learned exquisitely. When you see people, you talk about people, and when you see ghosts, you talk nonsense. When he arrived in front of Gu Shi'an, his wife swallowed back into his stomach and greeted with a smile: "Miss Gu, are you also here?" ”
Gu Shi'an was thinking about things, and he was a little absent-minded. Suddenly, I heard someone calling for me, and I raised my head slowly.
The city is only so big, and she is not surprised to see Assistant Sun. She nodded and asked politely, "Are you here to do business?" ”
She still had the pancake fruit in her hand, and after she finished speaking, she asked, "Would you like one?" ”
Assistant Sun waved his hand and said no. He looked at the resume she put aside and asked, "You came here to apply?" ”
Gu Shi'an was more or less uncomfortable, but he nodded. said: "I've been idle for so long, it's time to go to work." ”
She didn't want to linger on the topic and asked, "Are you here alone?" ”
Assistant Sun smiled, looked at Chen Xiao, and said, "No, I came with Mr. Chen." ”
Chen Xiao was obviously looking at this side just now, but now he has turned his back and gone to smoke.
When Gu Shi'an followed his line of sight and looked over, he only saw Chen Xiao's silhouette. She quickly withdrew her gaze and nodded.
She couldn't find anything to say for a while, but Assistant Sun was very interested and said, "Then you are busy." I first accompanied Mr. Chen to meet the customer. ”
Gu Shi'an nodded.
Assistant Sun turned around to leave, but he didn't know what he thought, so he stopped again, looked at Gu Shi'an with a smile, and asked, "Miss Gu, are you still here for a while?" ”
Gu Shi'an didn't know what he was asking for, but he nodded and said, "It should still be there." ”
She's going to check it out again.
Assistant Sun smiled slightly and said, "I haven't had time to thank you for taking care of Mr. Chen in the hospital last time, if it's convenient for you, I'll invite you to dinner in a while." ”
It's a matter of how long this will take. Where did Gu Shi'an think that he would mention it again, he was stunned for a moment, and then said: "You're polite, don't ...... it"
She was going to say something, but before she could say anything, Assistant Sun glanced at Chen Xiao, and said with a wry smile: "This is what should be invited." You're welcome. If it weren't for you in those days, I wouldn't know ......."
After all, he shouldn't talk about the boss behind his back, but he stopped in moderation, and then said: "So you must not be polite." Since you are also here, it is better to choose a day and then hit the day, I see the customer estimated that it will be about an hour. I'll call you later. ”
As if he was afraid that Gu Shi'an would not agree, he said something like this. Seeing that Chen Xiao had already looked over here, he left in a hurry. Leaving Gu Shi'an helplessly standing in place.
The backs of the two quickly disappeared on the side of the building, Gu Shi'an ate the pancakes and soy milk in his hand, looked at the time, and then continued to submit his resume.
Assistant Sun's call came on time, and Gu Shi'an had just finished submitting his resume and was out of the talent market, and his call came.
Gu Shi'an was originally not going to answer it, but after a pause, he still picked up the phone. She fed her, and was about to open her mouth to refuse, but before she could open her mouth, Assistant Sun on the other end of the phone said, "Miss Gu, I have already seen you." I'm right here at the statue on the left. ”
There were people coming and going here, Gu Shi'an looked up at the statue he said, and sure enough, he saw Assistant Sun waving his hand at a glance. She had to walk quickly.
Assistant Sun's matter should have been discussed, and the whole person looked refreshed. Seeing Gu Shi'an go over, he said, "What do you like to eat, there are quite a lot of food around here." ”
As he spoke, he looked around.
Gu Shi'an reached out and rubbed his eyebrows at this time, and said, "You're also very busy, don't worry, let's do it another day." ”
She was just saying kind things. The two of them have very little time to see each other, and there is nothing to change the day.
Assistant Sun is a human spirit, so I don't understand what she means. He smiled and said, "Don't shirk anymore, this meal is invited by me on behalf of the entire secretary's office." If it weren't for you in those days, everyone would have suffered greatly. ”
Chen Xiao was not there, but he spoke very cheerfully. No more spitting.
What he said was not a lie, Chen Xiao in those days was indeed like eating gunpowder. Every time people go to the hospital, they are scolded for being bloody.
After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for Gu Shi'an to speak, and continued: "You see whether you eat Cantonese food or Sichuan food, there is also a Western restaurant over there, I accompanied the guests once last time, and the taste is okay." ”
Gu Shi'an couldn't refuse. I can only say: "I'm not a picky eater, I can eat anything." ”
She's only been eating breakfast for an hour, and she's not hungry yet.
Assistant Sun thought for a while and said, "Then let's eat Sichuan food." It's very authentic, by the way, you can eat spicy food, right? ”
Gu Shi'an nodded and said something that could be eaten.
Assistant Sun stopped talking nonsense and walked forward with Gu Shi'an. He is a long-sleeved dancer and will not be cold. Intentionally or unintentionally, he asked Gu Shi'an about applying for the job this time.
Gu Shi'an had nothing to hide from her. I said that I submitted several resumes, but I don't know when there will be a reply.
Assistant Sun said to let her wait patiently. However, since you are planning to find a job again, you should choose a good job whether it is a company or a position, and you should be suitable for yourself. Don't rush to the doctor when you get sick, you won't be able to do it if you're unhappy.
He said this like a senior, and Gu Shi'an smiled and nodded.
The Sichuan restaurant is on the abs, not far away. It was a quick arrival.
It was noon, and there weren't many people. Assistant Sun originally asked for a private room, but Gu Shi'an didn't let him, so he just let him sit in the hall.
He didn't insist and called the waiter to come over and serve tea. Then hand the menu to Gu Shi'an and let Gu Shi'an order first.
Gu Shi'an originally asked him to order, but in the end, he couldn't beat her, and symbolically ordered two dishes.
Assistant Sun took it and drew a lot, and before the dish was finished, Gu Shi'an saw Chen Xiao and a middle-aged man walking over from the door.
Where did she think she would meet him. The body stiffened slightly.
Assistant Sun is quite good at observing words and feelings, and immediately followed his line of sight. At this glance, he was stunned for a moment, and then stood up and greeted Chen Xiao and the one beside him.
The person next to Chen Xiao should be the customer they met just now, and he knew Assistant Sun. Immediately walked over to say hello. And the self-cooked one sat down, saying that since they had met, of course they had to eat together.
Assistant Sun was embarrassed, and he couldn't let people go, so he had to ask the waiter to add more dishes and chopsticks.
The man sat down next to Assistant Sun, and Chen Xiao sat down next to Gu Shi'an.
That person was curious about Gu Shi'an. asked about Assistant Sun. This introduction was obviously embarrassing, and Assistant Sun only didn't dare to look at Chen Xiao, and vaguely introduced that he was a friend.
The man didn't ask much, but instead talked to Chen Xiao about business.
With the addition of these two people, the atmosphere of this meal is not so relaxed. But the two culprits seemed to be unaware, talking about business. Gu Shi'an and Assistant Sun are regarded as non-existent.
Assistant Sun was apologetic and smiled apologetically at Gu Shi'an.
It was obviously inappropriate for Gu Shi'an to leave at this time, so he had to sit down. She didn't speak, and drank her tea.
The service of this shop is very good, and before the food comes up, I sent two plates of dim sum to cushion the stomachs of a few people.
Men don't eat much of this kind of sweets, and in order to express his guilt, Assistant Sun directly pushed the plate in front of Gu Shi'an.
Chen Xiao, who was talking to the man, glanced at him lightly.
The smile on Assistant Sun's face froze, and finally pushed the plate that had been pushed in front of Gu Shi'an in front of Chen Xiao, and asked, "Do you eat?" ”
Chen Xiao didn't answer, but just reached out and took the pastry and ate it. Assistant Sun had to smile at Gu Shi'an awkwardly.
The dishes didn't come up quickly, Assistant Sun not only ordered the special hot pot here, but also ordered a number of signature dishes here. plus what Chen Xiao ordered later, a large table was fully set.
There was no wine in the business field, and although it was only noon, the guest still ordered a bottle of Moutai with pride.
The waiter quickly brought the wine up, and Chen Xiao lightly ordered the drink again. The three men all had to drink, and this drink was naturally ordered for Gu Shi'an.
When it was time to start eating, several people ate less. Sure enough, they all just cared about drinking.
Assistant Sun was very conscientious, probably because he was afraid that the man would pull Chen Xiao to drink. Left glass after glass of wine to the man. Chen Xiao only took a symbolic drink.
This occasion obviously didn't take care of Shi'an's business, she was still restrained at first, and when she saw that she didn't pay attention to herself, she buried her head in eating.
It's a pity to order so many dishes.
The stir-fry here is not very good, and it is not as good as Chang Yan. But I don't know how to get the hot pot, it's very delicious. The meat is also fresh when prepared with vegetables, and the red oil is mixed with the green vegetables, and the color is very attractive just by looking at it.
Gu Shi'an ate slowly, and it didn't take long for dense fine sweat to appear on his forehead. She was about to pour tea, and as soon as her hand touched the cup, Chen Xiao, who was sitting on the side, picked up the teapot and poured tea into her cup.
She couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but she didn't speak, said thank you, picked up the cup and drank tea.
Chen Xiao didn't know if he heard it or not, and he didn't look at her, and put down the teapot.
Gu Shi'an didn't care about him and continued to eat. Chen Xiao sat for a while and called the waiter. Tell him to go outside and buy some freshly squeezed juice.
When Gu Shi'an was about to go to drink tea again, orange juice was put on his hand. Orange juice is spicier than tea, and after she finished drinking it, Chen Xiao put his untouched untouched hand next to her.
He did it quite casually, not at all like he was deliberately taking care of Gu Shi'an.
Gu Shi'an didn't say anything, and didn't touch the glass of juice.
After eating a meal for a long time, it was not appropriate to take a position halfway, so Gu Shi'an looked at the time from time to time. Assistant Sun accompanied the guest to drink, and Chen Xiao obviously noticed her looking at the time, and did not say anything to let her go.
finally waited until the end of the meal, Gu Shi'an breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to leave, Chen Xiao glanced at her and said, "He's drunk, I'll have to see the client later." ”
Gu Shi'an didn't know what he meant by this, so he looked at him.
Chen Xiao glanced at her, and said in a light tone: "The place was arranged by him, do you think it is appropriate for me to go alone?" There is still half an hour, and it is too late to call someone over. ”
Yes, the purpose of his visit was to talk about business. Everything else has to be taken care of by the assistant in advance.
This meal really shouldn't be eaten, Gu Shi'an was silent for a while, and said, "I haven't done it." I'm afraid it's going to be a mistake. ”
Chen Xiao glanced at her again, and said coldly: "You can't serve tea and pour water?" ”
After he finished speaking, he instructed the driver to send the guest to the hotel and send Assistant Sun back, but he didn't look at Gu Shi'an, and stepped forward to stop the car.
Gu Shi'an is not going to leave now, nor is he staying. Just standing in place.
Chen Xiao stood on the side of the road and didn't see her follow, and said lightly: "I will ask someone to give you an hourly salary, and I won't treat you badly." Or, are you going to ask the driver to come back now and fetch a basin of water to wake up Assistant Sun? ”
Although his tone was light, there was nothing he couldn't do. Gu Shi'an didn't say anything more. When he stopped the cab, he followed suit.
The place that Chen Xiao and the other party made an appointment was at the hotel, and the other party hadn't arrived when the two of them passed. Chen Xiao was not in a hurry at all, and stood by the window and made a phone call.
Where did Gu Shi'an do the job of an assistant, he was like a piece of wood, and he didn't know what he should do at all. It's really not something that ordinary people can do.
Chen Xiao came back after the phone call and saw that she was nervous, threw her phone aside, and said lightly: "Relax, the other party will serve tea and pour water later." ”
Gu Shi'an nodded.
The two of them had nothing to say when they stayed together now, he looked down at the time, closed his eyes and sat on the sofa and pretended to sleep.
After all, the person hadn't arrived yet, and Gu Shi'an didn't stand anymore. sat down, poured a cup of tea and pushed it in front of Chen Xiao. Then I poured myself a glass and drank it.
The room was extremely quiet for a while, and Chen Xiao opened his eyes after a while. I also drank tea with a teacup.
He said at that time that there was still half an hour to go, but the two of them sat in the hotel for half an hour, and still no one came.
Gu Shi'an naturally knew that this was abnormal, and after watching it for several times in a row, he asked, "Do you want to call and ask?" ”
Chen Xiao glanced at her at this time, and said lightly: "I'm not in a hurry, what are you anxious about?" ”
Yes, he didn't rush her to anything. Gu Shi'an stopped talking and closed his mouth.
The wait was a long one, half an hour passed, and no one came for an hour. Chen Xiao was indeed not in a hurry at all, and Gu Shi'an even doubted whether what he said was true or false.
But he had no reason to lie to himself, so he had to wait.
The other party didn't come for a long time, and she drank a little too much tea. After going to the bathroom a few times, I leaned back on the sofa and dozed off.
Originally, she just wanted to doze off, but she slept too late last night and fell asleep in a daze.
He was woken up by Chen Xiao, and when she opened her eyes, she was slightly stunned for a few seconds when she saw Chen Xiao's enlarged face. After a while, I remembered where I was.
She quickly stood up, trying to clear her mind. Asked, "Are people coming?" ”
Chen Xiao glanced at her lightly and said, "People are next door." ”
He didn't care about Gu Shi'an as he spoke, and went straight to open the door and walk out. Gu Shi'an came back to his senses and followed quickly.
The other party had already sat in the private room, and it didn't look like he had just arrived. Seeing Chen Xiao push the door in, he immediately stood up and greeted him with a smile on his face. It doesn't look like you're a few hours late for a shelf.
Gu Shi'an had some doubts in his heart, but it was obviously not suitable to ask about this at this time. She had to suppress her doubts to her heart.
